A brief introduction to the material and performance analysis of the clutch disc
Clutch discs are mainly used in the auto parts manufacturing industry. It is a composite material with friction as its main function and structural performance requirements. The clutch plates used in automobile clutches can be divided into many different materials, and their performance characteristics are also different. It can be divided into the following categories.
1. Copper substrate: Copper-based alloy metal friction material, which has the advantages of high hardness and good heat dissipation, but it is easy to wear the clutch pressure plate.
2. Core-spun yarn: The core-spun yarn is generally made of synthetic fiber filaments with good strength and elasticity as the core yarn, with short fibers such as cotton, wool, and viscose being twisted together. The friction material made of this material has good toughness and moderate price, so it is also widely used in the production of clutch facings.
3. Organometallic sheet: strong performance, but high price, generally used for high-torque models.
4. Fiber yarn: fiber-based synthetic composite material, with good toughness, good friction resistance and light weight.
